Nor the Ladies who are sponsored by Saudi Oil....or the PGA pro's who have seen prize money skyrocket....Well, Pat Perez ain't complaining
wonder where all that additional cash came from.
LIV Golf
- Thread starter MarkT
- Start date

Why have you brought the Ladies' game into this, or have I missed the bit where PiV has developed a new closed invitational tour for Lady Golfers?

It's more like a movie in my book.

I was but as it relates to LiV, again I ask how is what is currently happening in Ladies Golf, related to LiV.

Cam Smith and Mark Leishman have both entered the OZ Open, so it appears that OZ golf tournaments will accept LIV players to compete, crazy not too as the US players have not played these events for years, finally we will get see top class players.

Top players have been going down to either events for a number of years
The likes of Rory and Spieth have both players there and when they were number 1 etc
These are Australian PGAT events - don’t you want to see the Australian players taking up the spaces to help them progress- there were complaints that the big stars were coming down taking up spots ?

How many years are we talking? Last couple of years were cancelled due to Covid, but looking at past Champions, Spieth won in 2014 and 2016 and McIlroy in 2013. OK after Spieth won in 2016, not sure the winners in the next 3 years would have been considered big stars, although Ancer has done OK since his win in 2018. Not sure who else was in the field in the last 3 years it was played, but perhaps runner up Oosthuizen in 2019 was still considered a reasonably high level player at the time?

Players on the US tour stopped coming when they went to the wrap around tour, now they have stopped that, maybe they will come again, but Rory doesn't feel comfortable playing with LIV players in the event as per Wentworth so who knows if he will come down under again, am sure he would be welcomed by all golf fans here.

Same work ethic as mine ? Then straight into the Daily Stand-Up. “What’s going on McClure?” Have to stop myself saying “LIV still divisive but CR-Par gaining traction”.Everyday when I get into work, the first thing I do is check this thread

I'm presuming OWGR points are awarded for Australian Tour Events?
If so makes even more sense the Australian Liv Players will play in that tours big events..

Adrian Otaegui rewarded for his win at Valderama with a spot in the final round at Doral.

Wow, thats still a lot of journeymen making up the field. While their target of tempting away the worlds best golfers failed, I though 54 would have succeeded more easily getting 3rd rate fillers to fill out the numbers. And tbh, and surprised they didnt. Are they offering unattractive money to the ballast ?

Yeah, there's no journeymen making up the other tours is there?
At least you'll be able to watch all of the action from LIV, unlike the CJ cup where the leaders had played for over an hour before the cameras went live.
The PGAT has 54 top flight golfers to be fair.

More I would have thought, can't have crap golfers making up the numbers in all these no cut events they keep having ;-)

Yeah, that really put me off watching amazing golf on the PGAT, a great finish and Rory shooting the lights out to regain #1 on the OWGR, not some other floundering tour.

What channel is the LIV event on again ?
Was great watching Rory last night and some other great golf during the day on Sky Golf
I’ll look out for the LIV golf on Sky Golf to see if it matches anyway near the same level of heartbreak , drama and world class golf
